In the early hours of the night it had rained and
the iron gate that led to the gatekeepers' houses had
rattled loose in the wind, and it disturbed Mrs. O'
Brien's spaniel where he lay on a mat in the dark,
drafty hallway. Time again he gave a muffled 【M1】 ______
growl, padded about the hall, and scratched at the
door. His uneasiness and the noise of the wind had
awakened Mrs. O'Brien in the room above him. 【M2】 ______
Beside her husband was asleep, snoring loudly, 【M3】 ______
unaware of her wakefulness or of the windows shaking
in their heavy frames. The rain rattled like
hailstones against the panes. How in earth anybody 【M4】 ______
could sleep through that, she wondered—it was
enough to waken the dead and there he was deep
asleep as if it were a calm summer night. You'd
thought he'd be worrying about his journey to the 【M5】______
Rock in the morning and his long six weeks away
from her.
The dog growled again, and throwing back the
bedclothes she got up and groped on the table for the
matchbox. She struck one match but it was a dead
one, and she clicked her tongue in approval. She 【M6】 ______
was never done telling Tom not to put his spent
matches back into the box but he never heeded her.
She struck three before coming upon a good one, and
in the spurt of flame she glanced at the alarm clock
and saw that it was two hours after midnight. She
slipped downstair, lit the lamp and let the dog into 【M7】 ______
the kitchen.
On the floor, Tom's hampers lay ready for the
morning, when the boatmen would have come to 【M8】 ______
row him out to the lighthouse to relieve young Frank
Coady. She looked at the hampers with sharp
calculation, wondering if she had packed everything he 【M9】 ______
needed. She was always sure to forget everything
and he was always sure to bring it up with her as
soon as he stepped ashore for his twoweek leave.
But this time she was sure that she had forgotten
nothing, for she had made a list and ticked each
item off as she packed it into the cases. No, he
couldn't be able to launch any of his ill humour on 【M10】 ______
her this time!
【M1】

For the【C1】______month, mysterious falls of large chunks of ice(冰雹)【C2】______rained down on Spain and Italy. Juana Sanchez, a 70-year-old woman in Almeria, southern Spain, was knocked
【C3】______when she was struck on the shoulder by a falling ice chunk【C4】______she walked in a street【C5】______her home. On January 12, just about 200 miles away in Seville, a man narrowly【C6】______serious injury when a 9-pound ball of ice【C7】______into his car.【C8】______the evening of January 27 priests at the Salesian monastery in L'Aquila, Italy were startled by a loud crash.【C9】______the noise, they discovered a large chunk of ice on their yard,【C10】______intact. Upon examination, the block of ice【C11】______in at 2 kilograms and no source【C12】______. On the same day, about 100 miles northeast in Ancona, Italy, the local officials were called to investigate the report of a man【C13】______was struck【C14】______the head by all kilogram chunk of ice that apparently fell from the sky.
Spain and Italy aren't the only European【C15】______getting attacked by huge ice blocks in January. On January 2 in Surrey, England(southwest of London), an East Indian man was walking through Newton Athletic Park when he【C16】______a strange whistling sound overhead. Seconds【C17】______,a large hunk of ice fell out of the clear blue sky and pounded into the soft ground, shattering over a 50-foot-wide area. The ice dug a hole of a foot deep and a foot in diameter. Even the shattered remains of the mystery ice were as large as tennis balls and were described as opaque【C18】______no unusual color or smell.
Although eyewitnesses to the phenomenon report that they did not see anything in the sky that could account【C19】______the ice, scientists had to come up with a rationalization. Professor Jesus Martinez Frias, the geologist investigating the ice falls in Spain, told BBC News that the ice pieces had probably been【C20】______through sudden temperature drops in the stratosphere. This was the most likely explanation, he said, for the "very unusual" phenomenon.

September 1
Dear colleagues,
I am writing to let you know that I have accepted a position as a music director of the Oregon Symphony and will be resigning from my position as a senior lecturer here on September 22. The decision to leave LA Music Academy has been an extremely difficult one, as I have enjoyed teaching at our school tremendously.
However, I do feel that it is time for me to move on to the next stage of my musical career. I believe the position at Oregon provides an opportunity for such growth.
During my seven years at this academy, I have had the privilege of working with many fine musicians such as yourselves. I am very grateful for your hard work and encouragement and wish you continued success.
Best wishes,
Phillip Janssen

听力原文: A country's latitude, or distance from the equator, has an important effect on its climate. In places located at low latitudes, or near the equator, like Ecuador and northern Brazil, the amount of sun shine changes the least during the year. At mid-latitudes, in places like Japan or Argentina, there is more sunshine in the summer than in the winter. The greatest change occurs at the highest latitudes, in places like northern Canada or Alaska. In these places, the nights are very long for half the year, and the days are long during the other half. At the North or South Pole, sunlight lasts the longest during the summer. But light and heat are the most intense at the equator.
Altitude and distance from the sea also affect climate. The thin air in high mountain areas absorbs less of the sun's heat than the thicker air at sea level. The daily changes in temperature also increase with distance from the sea.
Snow and rain are- very important to climate. Snow reflects as much as eighty or ninety percent of the heat from the sun, and makes the weather even colder, but a large forest area can reflect as little as five percent of the sun's heat. This makes the weather warmer.
Of course, the general effects of climate do not explain every thing about the weather. For example, both the driest places in the world and the place with the most rainy days are located in Chile. Calama, in the Atacama Desert, had no rain for over 400 years. But during the year 1916, it rained in Bahia Felix, Chile for 348 days.

A.At low latitudes.
B.At mid-latitudes.
C.At high latitudes.
D.At high altitudes.
